Combining ICL and double eyelid surgery in Korea within 2 weeks — is it safe/feasible?

Hi! I know this might sound a little unconventional, but bear with me. I have very poor vision (OD -10 -1.75 x180, OS -9.5 -2.75 x170) and I'd love to get ICL surgery to correct it. I'm also interested in double eyelid surgery to make my eyes look a bit larger. I'm planning to get both done during an upcoming trip to Korea, but I don't have unlimited PTO. Is there a way to safely combine both procedures within a two-week vacation? I know it's not the most ideal approach, but I'd really rather not have to make two separate trips. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

At October 2025 surgery, you're now around 7 months out. This is right at the inflection point where tissues are settled enough to evaluate, but where residual healing is often still improving for another 3 to 6 months. Why the 6 to 12 month mark is the typical 'wait and see' zone: Tissue...

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work at 2 weeks post-op, and at this point the incisions should be healed to the point that the infection risk is fairly low. Best to confirm with your surgeon what he/she feels most comfortable with.

Your eyes currently appear to have not only thick skin, but also a significant amount of fat in the eyelid area. In this type of condition, it is difficult to create a stable double eyelid line without some degree of fat removal. In addition, when the fat inside the eyelid is not evenly...

Hello, Based on your pictures, I would not recommend a double eyelid surgery. You have a defined crease. It appears that, despite you being 24 years old, you likely have some excess upper eyelid skin resulting in the appearance of multiple creases. Its entirely reasonable to wait and do...
